Researchers at Samsung's AI Center in Moscow have developed a new system that can transform facial images into videos with speech expressions.
According with a study, the system creates realistic virtual talking faces through an application that processes the target person's face from a still photo. The AI application can control the way a person moves to display realistic results.
“This ability will have practical applications in remote monitoring, in some teleconferenceς, σε παιχνίδια με πολλούς παίχτες καθώς και στην βιομηχανία των ειδικών effects,” Samsung said.
Deepfake technology is nothing new, but Samsung's new system doesn't use 3D models and requires only one face photo to create a new moving and talking face model.
If the application is able to use 32 images to create a model, it will be able to "achieve [a] perfect realism and a very good personalization", according to the company.
The possibility creationof a "deepfake" video with a limited number of downloads is because the system has a large base data from videos of people talking, according to Samsung. Using this database, combined with images of target faces, the system is able to create several realistic models of the same face.
So-called "deepfake" videos are now a major concern for U.S. lawmakers, who are worried that AI that manages human videos could create scenes that say things that have not been said, depending on the creator's mood.
Imagine what applications the new AI technology can have, in the case of fake news.
